Maradona in relative terms would be worth about £300 million in today's transfer market.
Seeing how he basically went on to win Napoli Serie A & Argentina the World Cup by himself.
Anyone seen anything of Christos Tzolis?
Inverted (right footed) left forward. Read about him, so watched some YT's, looks like a lively little fucker but it's still only YT and the Belgian league, so....

Whenever someone starts getting really wordy you know they're just making shit up. Reeks of a fradulent little teenage neek trying to sound clever when they're making up their fake rumours to get followers.
The guys that are genuinely ITK are usually relatable blokes who are capable of, y'know, networking and connecting with people in the game. They communicate online like average people and certainly don't say shit like "such a structure could, in theory, widen the pool of potential suitors for Romero".
This bloke is 100% fraudulent wankstain with zero connections.
it's not easy to work out what Napoli's revenue would have been in 1984 as it's not publicly tracked, but by and large I think it's safe to say clubs were almost entirely reliant on ticket sales and merchandise for revenue at that point, TV money wasn't a thing until the 90s, I don't think it's absurd to say that it could be well in excess of £300m even when adjusting up to the monopoly money involved in the Neymar transfer given howe much larger a % of the revenue of even the richest club in the world £7m would have been at the time. I still don't think it's really possible to track as so many modern transfers have been essentially financed externally, I think we would only really be breaking the £100m mark a few years ago if PSG hadn't completely fucked the market. I do think it's a bubble that has to burst eventually, it simply can't be sustainable for clubs to take such colossal financial losses on singular players when they are being held accountable for where their financng comes froum.
Quite funny that Newcastle were the last English club to break the world transfer record and the only medal he won was with Blackburn lmao
No surely not. IIRC Bale and Pogba both broke World transfer records.
He's an AM. Especially in a 4231 (RDZ).
We need proper midfielders. Press resistant, able to pass the ball. Able to progress the ball. With good athletic ability. At least one of them needs to be v.good without the ball, both being good would be nice. If we are thinking of buying Wharton (mistake IMO) then we need to buy someone who is an absolute monster busy cunt at hunting and gathering.
Palhinha is coming back
And apparently he's gonna have "monster busy cunt" on the back of his shirt next season too.
Well Bale went to RM so it wouldn't be an English club breaking the record, but yeah I had forgotten about Pogba tbh, expect most people have at this point lol
Interesting. If we bring in Sav, Van Hecke, Robertson and Senesi early doors that's a clear signal this isn't just business as usual.
We've had a few summers under Levy where we made some early moves (Conte and Ange's first windows spring to mind) but never to the tune of 90-100m, which is approx what Savio and VH would cost.
He flopped at Norwich. Only started scoring goals when he started playing in less competitive leagues like Bundesliga 2 and Belgium. He's a hads pass for me.
